Wagons in a circle actually. I could have added some Indians.

This is from the sack of Samarqand in Broken Crescent. There are about 40 elephants in the gate area. I was in a hurry to crush the Kwaz so I could take the Mongols head on. When you're in a hurry, send in the elephants!

I sooooooo encouraged him to do that.So if you had to pick one faction from vanilla MTWII that you thought had no chance of taking over the world, which one would it be?

The great Polish navy will be feared! ... by some fishermen in a pond near Novgorod.
I'm guessing the AI hired some galley there.
And on a side note, there's been a cool little mini-development in this game. Notice the little rebel army near Helsinki? That is in fact a very nice army of veteran crusaders, composed mostly of Mercenary Spearmen, Crusader Knights, and Mercenary Frankish Knights. It's managed to hold Helsinki for almost the entire game, hence the fact it is a completely undeveloped backwater with only a damaged Motte and Bailey with no other buildings for a settlement.
So my campaign has basically developed a rogue crusader faction, not too far off from where the Teutonic Knights historically fought.
Why exactly it is there I have no idea, since the only Crusades I have noticed have been on Antioch and Tunis.

At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
Re: The Amusing Screenshots Thread [56kers beware!]
Yeah! I'm so proud of those rebels... The Frankish knights is probably a typo, should be Finnish knights

Not really a screen, but perhaps amusing.
My girlfriend made this for me in her sowing circle ;) It's awaiting a frame. Since she can only hear the sounds from the game, she thinks the Imams (and everyone else for that matter) are pretty lazy, they have to rest all the time! We continue tomorrow mighty sultan!

My humble contributions to this LMAO thread:
Mongol Invasion: "So the rumours are true, lads, the Mongols iz comin' for our kilts."
Polish fleet: "Your battleship is finally ready, sir." "Excellent! Sail West, men!" "Damn, now we have to add wheels".
It looks like the Vatican hides something from the commoners...

Hah, that wouldn't be the first or last time the pesky commoners weren't told something those Up High didn't think they needed to know!!

Re: The Amusing Screenshots Thread [56kers beware!]
Interestingly enough, the majority of the visual bugs I encountered were in the French version of the game. Later I switched to the English version and the frequency reduced quite a lot. Maybe I'll post some other screenshots, at one point I was constantly pressing the printscreen button during French version campaigns...

Very funny. Needs no explanation, indeed. Wait, let me try something......
Commentator#1: (intrigued) We're now seeing a rare spectacle on the blue corner.
Commentator#2: Ah, Yes! That's their famous cannon warm-ups. They believe that if men do so prior to an engagement, why not the 'metal tubes that fire balls in a bang' that they use. It also it keeps the men handling them pent up.
Commentator#1: (in awe) Very intruiging.
Commentator#2: ... Well, more on that there have been reported cases where one side accidentally got their fuse a'light. The loud explosion that arise are a spectacular sight to behold. An amusement to the troops on both sides, and embarassment to their general. Those caught attempting to so while their general does speech pre-battle, end up trampled under their own general's horse.
Commentator#1: Most bizzare!!!
(Commentator#2 stares at his partner before saying,)
Commentator#2: Yes. Obviously...

Right lads, we're going to push the cannon on the right INTO the cannon on the left, and fire it over the walls into the town square. When it lands, it'll fire in turn and blow the head off the enemy general.
This plan can't fail!
